Thanks for the tip, but this removes completely the numbering, i want to 
keep the version number (0.9.8) but to remove the -pre1 :-)

I'll keep my workaround (it is not that ugly after all, just a move 
before the final packaging) but keep in my where to sed in case i'll 
need it in the future.

Cheers,
Stéphane
